Fiscal Impact
The FY 2020 Budget includes $475,000 for this project in the Capital Improvement Fund with $450,000 in the Capital Improvement Fund, Public Works - Engineering, for Pavement Preservation account no. 3095-43780-101-570977 and $25,000 Capital Improvement Fund, Public Works - Engineering, Local Street Construction, for alley patching account no. 3095-43780-101-570951.
Background
The program this year consists of microsurfacing, patching of streets and alleys, and crackfilling. The Village has used microsurfacing as part of the pavement maintenance program for many years. Microsurfacing is a surface treatment that extends the service life of pavements from 5 to 7 years. Approximately 2.05 miles of streets are planned to be micropaved under this contract. Additionally, crack filling will be done on a number of streets, including some stretches along streets that have been resurfaced between 3 and 5 years ago.
This project also includes patching of local streets and alleys throughout the Village to address areas of deterioration and improve the rideability of streets and alleys. A number of locations for patching are on streets where micro-surfacing is also planned to repair distressed areas prior to applying the microsurfacing.
The contractor, A.C. Pavement Striping Co., has completed previous microsurfacing projects in the Village of Oak Park and has done an excellent job. It is not unusual for the Village to receive only two bids for this project as Microsurfacing is a specialized process and there are only a few vendors that do that type of work in the Midwest region of the country.
